Loving me, loving you
Now is the time to be in love. Why, I hear you ask? Why right now? Well, it's never not the time to be in love, is it? This is not something we should leave until tomorrow, wait until the current situation blows over, when the stars come into better alignment, when we've had our hair done, or found the right person. But if we have not found the 'right person' how can we possibly be in love?
Well, we just do not need the right person, for us to be in love. Love is an emotional state that can exist all the time, without necessarily needing a focus of attention to provide the catalyst. It's an emotional state that we generate by attitude, by thought, by allowing ourselves to experience it. It's not a choice as such but an acceptance of what 'is', of allowing our natural tendency and creature instinct, the force of health and well being to shine through. Love is the attraction of elements towards each other. We are all made up of molecules all bound together by electromagnetic forces and the natural tendency of life is always towards health and growth. If we are unfortunate enough to have a disease, then this is a life-force of itself attracting more of what it is, to grow within itself. It is the law of attraction, 'like attracts like'. And this is what love is; it's the strongest form of attraction and we are made of it.
When we're in love, we're happy and happiness makes growth and promotes health. Have you seen people in the new blossom of first love? They're glowing, radiant, buoyant and exuding happiness, joy and health. What is it that they have that others do not? They are experiencing a rush of emotion where they have allowed themselves to completely be consumed by the sensation of passionate attraction. Love isn't something that someone else does to you. We create it by chemical reactions. People in the joys of 'new love' are actually allowing the love within them to come up, to well up, and with this joy of sensation they create more of it, so it becomes a tidal wave of ecstasy. After the initial wave comes a more quiet calm which is more sustainable, but still buoyant. But this love was in them already. They have simply allowed someone to be an acceptable focus of attention (naturally appealing in all ways to the individual) to bring this emotion to the surface. They had it in them already. And you and I have it in us right now, at this moment, in this very nanosecond of time, today and for and ever for our whole life. We have this love inside of us too.
So would you like to feel you're in love? Maybe you are already in this situation and enjoying every moment. But if not, and rather than waiting to find the right person to 'fall in love' with, why not start loving right now? "But who can I love?" Well there are probably some friends who you can think of and maybe someone you've had an argument with that you can change the emotional state and see forgiveness in yourself and in them. It's good to love and always make amends. We can start by 'feeling' love despite situations, because as we've got it in us already, we can summon it up. By starting to summon the sensation of love, we exude this quality towards others, we start to glow, to radiate to be attractive. We also create a wonderful condition where our own health and happiness blossom.
We can start by loving ourselves. But what if we do not see much in ourselves to love, what then? Well, are we happy to be alive? Think of one simple small thing to be grateful for. I'm grateful for having two hands to try and play the violin. I'm grateful for having a job that I love doing, I'm grateful for my bowl of cornflakes with chilled rice milk this morning, and for the smile our receptionist gave me. Acknowledgement of simple things brings gratitude, it can make us more content, be happy with many things that we take for granted, but truly are a blessing. And you know, when we've thought about all the dozens of things we're happy and grateful for, we start to feel happier within ourselves. And life isn't all that bad, when we get down to the bottom line. When we are grateful, we can smile for what we have, and this smile goes out in return for the gift of our blessings. The happy smile shows as a glimmer on our face or a beam from ear to ear, and we begin to radiate what we would like to receive. We can also acknowledge everything we have achieved for ourselves, everything we have done that's good, remember the little good things that we chose to forget, preferring self-criticism. Let it go,turn it around. Let the little child out and look at what you've got. You're wonderful! I know that about you and we probably haven't even met! For goodness sake, the least we can do for ourselves is acknowledge ourselves in all our little ways and appreciate what we have and who we are. Remember, we are made of love, and it's there to come out. Start to feel it right now. You're lovely. :-)
We can start to allow the love to come up, to swell within us, and we don't need a reason or catalyst or 'right person' to make this happen; we can do it right now for ourselves. When we start to allow this love to come up, we will exude it, we give it out, we radiate 'love' and happiness around us. And guess what the Law of Attraction will do. Yes, it will return what you give out. Back to you comes what you've been radiating. Like attracts like. Love comes back. Other people smile, you'll attract more people of similar dispositions towards you. When we start 'loving me', then we will find situations coming towards us where we also begin 'loving you'.
We can start today.
I do hope you have a lovely weekend!
:-)
